niIeage.Boeks Replaced on Sale.

Secretary Hirshberg, OF the Travel
lers' Protective Association, has re-
ceived an official notice to the effect
that the Pennsylvania and PhiladelPhia
and Reading railroads have replaced on
sale mileage-books at $50 per 1,OOO
miles. When the interstate law went
into effect the mileage books were with
drawn from all roads, aud the COM
mercial traveller was required to pay
full fare. This movement on the part
of the above railroads, and also by the
Michigan Central and Grand-Trunk
lines Of the West, il is thought, is ssure
indication that in short time the
Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and
Ohio, and other southern roads will re.
place their mileage-bocks at &c. pei

SLOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
Archie Stargel Bids His Friends Farewell and
Puts an End to His Life.

Archie Stargel, twenty-nine years old, ye
terday afternoon killed himself at the residence
of John S. Webb in Perry township, six miles
from the city. He had been i'll for some time,
and had suffered from attacks of epilepsy.
1t was suggested to him that he
should 60 to the Insane Hospital for treat

Yesterday afternoon he went to his room, stating
that he was feeling i'll. and about an hour after

SUBJECTS FOR SERMONS.
Views Of Preachers Regarding the Themes
that Should Be Discussed in the Pulpit.

Rev. NJ. l.. Haines read paper upon Pulpit
Themes" at the meeting of the Presbyterian
Ministers association yesterday morning. in
which he discussed the various subjects and the
circumstances under which many might
be appropriately used. He thought that
important current events could be profit
ably utilized by pastors in their pulpits
His own experiences. he said, were that some
times the result of advertising his theme was
good, while al others it was not the case He
was at loss what course to pursue, but would
be governed by the circumstances. In the dis
cussion which followed, DR.. Mcleod made some
remarks about the subject. and they apparently
met the approval of the ministers present He
said themes growing out Of the gospel
were OF endless variety, and that
the theme for the Christian pulpit should
be evermore a Christian one. He considered it
largely question of taste in the matter of ad-
vertislug. "Of course" he said, s'the adver-
tiseient OF sensational theme will draw re-
ligious rovers but religious rovers are not very
helpful to the Church of Christ. Besides, the
effect OF advertising themes, is to draw people
away from their own churches, where they
ought to be, rather than to draw to Christ the
people who do not attend church."
The next meeting of the Ministerial Associa-
ton OF all the churches will be held at Hall
place NJ. E. Church.
